Controlling the pace of the game
!
There are many actions a goaltender can take that can control the pace
of the game. Sometimes your team is reeling, tired and in need of a rest or
some instruction from your coach. Long penalty kills, last minute leads and
quick goals against are examples of situations where you must take charge
and help your team get rested and organized.
1) Ramping pucks into the crowd
- If you need a whistle you should
smoother anything near the net, ice the puck or ramp up a hard low
shot into the crowd. Pro goaltenders are very slick in this area.
